Loynton Trout Fishery Report - November

What a way to see autumn out and winter in! During the last five weeks loynton has produced numerous doubles and no less than four rainbow trout over twenty pounds. Topped by a twenty five pounder, most of the big fish have fallen to lures as the rainbows predated heavily on fry.

Far from the recent cold snap slowing the larger trout down, two twenties came out on the coldest days of the year. No doubt the spring fed nature of the lakes has something to do with that. As usual when I managed a fishing session on my own yesterday action had slowed, but I caught three nice rainbows and missed a couple of good takes. A lot of fish nipped at lures and I found shorter tailed nymphs produced the goods, converting pulls and follows into strikes.

I'm looking to catch a few doubles this winter as it's my favourite time to go after the big trout. I will keep you posted on my progress.
